The City of Seattle’s online Discount Directory provides an opportunity for retail, service, arts, entertainment, tourism, and other organizations in the greater Seattle area to provide special discounts for older people and adults with disabilities, building their customer base and, at the same time, building a more age-friendly community.
Seniors can search on any keyword or zip code to find discounts near them.
Businesses and organizations define “older adults” and “adults with disabilities” in different ways, and some extend discounts only to Gold Card holders (age 60+) or FLASH Card holders (age 18–59 with disabilities). If in doubt, contact them directly to inquire.
Some of the discounts in the Age Friendly Seattle Discount Directory require a Gold Card or a FLASH Card; some do not.
The Gold Card for Healthy Aging is available for Seattle-King County residents age 60+. Gold Cards are available at the city’s customer service bureau, Seattle City Hall, neighborhood customer services centers, Seattle Animal Shelter, community centers and senior centers.
The FLASH Card is available for Seattle-King County residents age 18-59 with qualifying disabilities.
This Discount Directory does not provide a complete list of discounts for older adults or persons with disabilities. Vendor participation in the directory is voluntary and free.
The City of Seattle has not investigated the services listed, and neither endorses the businesses nor warrants the services, products or quality offered.
Businesses and other organizations that feature the Age Friendly Business Gold Card and FLASH Card sticker in their windows are discount program participants. They have not been vetted as an age-friendly business, per se.
The City of Seattle urges seniors to compare prices and seek advertised specials. Check out the businesses you are thinking of doing business with by contacting the Better Business Bureau (206-431-2222). When purchasing services, request a written estimate or contract describing the work and the cost.
